The Varache is at the heart of the Limousin countryside 6 kms from Eymoutiers, Haute-Vienne. This area is often called the best kept secret of France. It is covered roads and trails that crisscross the lush and unspoiled landscapes with small quiet villages that are the hallmark of Limousin.

If you are looking for a haven of peace and relaxation to escape the stress of everyday life, then the Varache is for you! Also, if you are looking for activities and attractions, we are an excellent base for exploring the surrounding countryside and attractions.

The cottages were refurbished with modern amenities while keeping their characters fifteenth century with their old wooden beams and original fireplaces.

You can barbecue and enjoy a glass of wine (or 2) while watching a beautiful sunset.

The cottages have central heating for rentals throughout the year. They have TVs in the living room and access to the internet free Wi-FI.

Both terraces are oriented towards the West and are perfect for small parties.

The city of Eymoutiers has a market every Saturday (and also the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month) you can stroll around the many stalls to buy local products such as cheese, fruit and vegetables from the garden. Do not were worried about parking because Eymoutiers knows neither parking meters nor paid parking. There is also a supermarket, bank, hardware store, restaurants, etc.

If you want to shop or enjoy the city life, Limoges is only 30 minutes drive from La Varache. This ancient Roman city, with its cathedral, is famous for its porcelain and offers many activities as historical sites.

The Varache is a large cottage with four bedrooms. However for smaller groups can be divided in two and rented as a cottage with two bedrooms.

The 5th and 7th seasons of the television series 'A French Village' was shot at La Varache in 2013 and 2016. The cottages and the property were alive with comedians and crew for three weeks.

We were three couples and spent three nights in this old lovingly restored old house. Lori and Chris were absolutely superb hosts. Since they themselves were transplants from England and USA we felt like we were with family. The facilities were not only fully furnished with everything we could need, but were well designed for maximum comfort. We are at the end of a long uninhabited road on the slope of a wonderful valley which one could just sit all day and absorb the sounds of farm and nature. The Eymoutiers area was tourist-sparse when we were there, so we enjoyed hiking around the lake area our hosts recommended as well as being near enough to visit surrounding communities such as Limosin. This is really a spot of heaven that allows a traveler to slow down a while, smell the roses and see a part of France not overwhelmed with tourists. Thank you, Chris and Lori, for an unforgettable stay!
